Woke up to this. Can't remember the last time I shrieked out of excitement because of a tweet. 😃

Arun's first rodeo with gaslighting level - India! Thank you very much @Mrwhosetheboss for doing this. ❤️

Time to add a subscription to Pentastic 😁 Just kidding! It's ad-free and open source so you've got nothing to worry. The only paid feature I might add in the future is cloud backup & sync.

Build something you want!

no he doesn't

AI has completely ruined Google IO

Memory Store (@memorydotstore) gives your team and AI agents a shared company brain. Your team's knowledge & decisions are scattered across slack, emails, and people's heads. Memory Store turns them into a living wiki for your agents and teammates. Congrats on the launch, @ishitajindal17 & @diwanksingh! ycombinator.com/launches/QPs…

I think every app should have the feature to pin stuff at the top of its homepage, regardless of what the app actually does.

I honestly didn't have much hope for Pentastic... it was way too simple to be interesting. But I built it because that's exactly what I needed. Always happy to see that I'm not the only one.

Found my new header

Slop slop..

Pentastic has crossed 10,000 downloads in less than 5 months with excellent ratings! 🥳 Would be nice if it crossed 50k by the year end. Not likely but one can dream. 😀

I don't think I'll be able to hide my disgust if someone interacted with me socially while wearing this.

Me to AI coding agents:

A single RGB LED dot on my Sony phone back in the day was infinitely more useful than anything Nothing has done with their glyph interface.

I wonder if it allows launchers. I'd frickin love to build Olauncher for Googlebook!

An "AI laptop" in 2026 sounds like the opposite of perfect product idea.

Android will now have a 'Pause point', which is exactly like the Interrupt feature in Pro Launcher with a worse name. 😂

MacBook Neo is way more private and secure than Googlebook [at least based on what Google has disclosed so far]. And it's not even close. MacBook Neo starts at $599 and runs Apple silicon with a full Secure Enclave-backed security architecture. The $599 model ships with a Lock Key instead of Touch ID. The $699 model adds Touch ID, which unlocks Secure Enclave-backed biometric auth for login, passkeys, payments, app auth, and website sign-in. Googlebook is an AI-first laptop platform built around Gemini, Android apps, phone integration, Magic Pointer, custom AI widgets, Google account context, and access to phone apps and files. From a privacy and security standpoint, it massively expands the attack surface. MacBook Neo is a known vertical stack: Apple silicon, Secure Enclave, hardware root of trust, Apple-controlled boot chain, Secure Enclave-backed storage encryption and FileVault key handling, Signed System Volume, Gatekeeper and notarization, XProtect, SIP, TCC privacy controls, and Private Cloud Compute for Apple Intelligence. Googlebook's core product pitch is giving Gemini more context: what's on your screen, what's in your Google apps, what's on your phone, what you select, what you ask it to act on. Google has disclosed some guardrails here: granular controls, app-specific automation permissions, purchase confirmations, prompt-injection defenses, real-time indicators, activity logs, and Privacy Dashboard visibility. That helps. But guardrails are not the same thing as a mature, published, device-level security architecture. The privacy issue is also data handling. Gemini activity can include prompts, files, videos, screens, photos, connected-app data, and other interaction data. Depending on settings, some of that can be used to improve Google services, reviewed by humans, and retained for long periods. It is a much larger privacy blast radius than any average laptop. Apple's model is narrower: process on-device when possible, use Private Cloud Compute when needed, do not retain the request after the response, do not make it accessible to Apple, and allow researchers to inspect and verify the server software. To be fair, Apple also has phone integration. iPhone Mirroring, Handoff, AirDrop, iCloud, and Continuity all expand what a Mac can touch. The difference is that Googlebook makes phone apps, phone files, Google account context, screen selection, and Gemini-driven action the center of the product. That changes the threat model. Android's app sandbox is excellent. ChromeOS has a strong secure-by-default model. Verified Boot, file-based encryption, containerization, hardware-backed keys, and long update support can be very good. But right now, Googlebook is a preview of an OEM ecosystem. MacBook Neo is a shipping Apple silicon Mac with a documented security architecture. For a privacy-conscious buyer, I'd take the $699 MacBook Neo with Touch ID over Googlebook.
